  • Bravo, Victor.

    Loved this tour. There were 8 in our group and Victor, a personable (and adorable) young man showed us the best of Santorini. Lots of walking but he was patient, kind and honest. We took this tour to bypass the long lines at the cable car. Unfortunately, the weather took a bad turn and we weren’t able to avoid the cable car for return trip. The company quickly provided money for the cable car ride back. Even though it didn’t turn out as expected, I have to give Victor and his company credit for handling it professionally. Our driver was also amazing at handling a large bus around hairpin turns. Thank you for a great day. Exhausting but awesome day.

    We booked this cruise excursion directly through Viator hoping for a great experience, a beautiful day, and amazing memories. Unfortunately, a cruise issue forced our boat to skip Santorini less than 12 hours before our prepaid activity. We called Viator customer service. They contacted the tour companyand explained the reason for our late cancellation and requested a refund for us. Less than a day later I received this email from the tour operator notifing us that even though not required, it is their policy to provide full refunds when ships skip ports. Although we are disappointed, we are exremely greatful for the refund consideration. We will deniately look gor and use Tickets and Tours in the future.

    What an amazing experience. Well planned and communicated expectations very well. Tour guide and driver were well informed and had great energy. Wonderful way to see the island and avoid the cable car.

    On the day of our tour, it rained from the time that the tour started until we returned to our ship. While we were disappointed to not have the "Sunny Santorini" experience, our guide, Alex and driver, Chris, were fantastic! They rearranged the tour itinerary to avoid the heaviest rains all day. Alex was very very knowledgeable with local history, geology, agriculture and local customs. We had the opportunity to see many more parts of the island that we had expected. A full tip to tip side to side all the way around experience with photo opportunities and learning opportunities all the way. The tour ended with a stop at a local restaurant, FortyOne, situated on the black beach. The food had a very wide variety of local flavors and the flavors were amazing! Total bill was €64 which included two cocktails and two entrées. Note, this is not included in the tour. Not only was this tour, a wonderful way to experience the island, but we also did not have to travel nor walk through the rain like those who took the cable car!
